The default user settings on Facebook allow any applications your friends install on their own Facebook account to have access to all of your Facebook info (the only things not shared are "Interested in" and "Religious and political views" by default). This is a concern since almost anyone can apply to be a Facebook Developer and create an app to harvest the information of users.
